1. The Chicago Sound is the sole album led by American jazz bassist Wilbur Ware. It features a quintet with the saxophonist and was recorded in 1957 for the Riverside label. It was subsequently re-released by the Jazzland label as: & Wilbur Ware with Junior Mance and renamed "The Chicago Cookers" in 1960
2. Review by Scott Yanow
3. Bassist Wilbur Ware's only recording as a leader mostly features Chicago musicians. Although Ware heads the set and contributed two originals, he does not dominate the music and delegated plenty of solo space to altoist John Jenkins , tenor saxophonist , and pianist Junior Mance; Wilbur Campbell or Frank Dunlop on drums complete the group. This fine hard bop date was a fine debut by Ware. It seems strange that in his remaining 20-plus years the bassist never led another album
